At Interlochen Public Radio, we continue
to hold aloft the value of a well-informed
public and the joy that music brings to our
days: a reflection of the nourishing love
AMPLIFY IPR focuses our efforts upon three areas of growth
for the arts with which Interlochen was
founded nearly a century ago.
— Trey Devey, President
For Classical IPR, we seek to preserve and expand the reach of classical music to all ages of listeners . Classical IPR is expanding its programming and community outreach. By leveraging terrestrial FM, online streams, and a broader slate of imaginative, in-person events, IPR will continue to present its original, innovative programming to more audiences. For IPR News, we will redouble our efforts to lead with news that matters and to invest in our journalistic capacities, both on our own and with regional and national news partners. Individually and collaboratively, IPR will work to further elevate the station’s profile as a storytelling leader in northern Michigan. We will focus, in particular, on issues of special regional concern. By expanding the reach of both IPR News and Classical IPR in digital spaces, we aspire to make IPR a global presence. Podcasts like Points North and The Up North Lowdown , as well as the persistent popularity of our livestreams, show that listeners are bound only by their enthusiasm and curiosity for our programming — not by schedules or geographic proximity to Interlochen. In the years to come, we must continue to give listeners around the world new reasons to tune in. A combination of program innovation and more robust marketing and promotion will bring IPR to new ears — and, in online spaces, new eyes — thereby ensuring its relevance and sustainability for generations.
Interlochen Public Radio’s future is profoundly impacted by the ongoing revolution of the media landscape. The digitization of media has fractured and upended traditional ways of broadcasting, but within the changes of the early 21st century lie immense opportunities for us. IPR is in the vanguard of addressing this new reality. IPR remains committed to being a source of inspiration and illumination as media undergoes a paradigm shift — and our supporters are a vital part of ensuring IPR can do so. That’s why, alongside our Excellence and Access goals for Vision 2028, we also seek to Amplify IPR as Interlochen approaches its centennial. As always, you are a crucial partner during this exciting, pivotal moment for IPR, as we amplify what IPR can mean for our communities for generations to come.
I listen every morning from my new
home in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
I really appreciate your programming.
Keep the music coming!
